 representing the double-precision 64-bit format IEEE 754 values as specified in the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic''\cite{ecma-262}. 
 The Number type does differ slightly from IEEE-754 in that there is only a single valid representation of ``Not a Number'' (NaN). The EMCA-262 does not define an ``integer'' representation.
